==History==
Bleckley County was formed in 1912.〔 The county jail and courthouse were built the following year.〔 The county courthouse opened on January 1, 1914, and has continuously been the county's courthouse since.〔 The courthouse predates the city hall and city auditorium, which were built in 1928.〔
The architect J.J. Baldwin of the architectural firm of Gayre & Baldwin designed the courthouse, one of eight Georgia courthouses designed by Baldwin. The building is in the Classical Revival style.〔''The New Georgia Guide'', University of Georgia Press, 1996, p. 486〕 It is made of brick, with white columns and stone trim.〔Wilbur W. Caldwell, ''The Courthouse and the Depot: The Architecture of Hope in an Age of Despair'', Mercer University Press, 2001, p. 245.〕 Wilbur W. Caldwell writes that while the building it "pleasant and serviceable ... it lacks exuberance and flair," and it is one indication that by 1912, "the age of flamboyant courthouse building was over in Georgia," as county courthouse design became more restrained.〔
